HIGHLIGHTED INFORMATION
Walker Manufacturing recommends that any service requiring special training or tools be performed by an authorized Walker Mower Dealer. There are several general practices to be aware of in the area of safety. Most accidents associated with the operation or maintenance of a Walker product are caused by disregarding basic safety precautions or specific warnings. Such accidents, in most cases, can be prevented by being aware of the dangers present. Information of special importance has been highlighted in bold type.

Safety Instructions

BEFORE OPERATING

1. Read and understand the contents of this Operator’s Manual before operating the machine. Become thoroughly familiar with all controls and how to stop the machine and disengage the controls quickly. Replacement Operator’s Manuals are available by sending the model and serial number to the address below, or at our website www.walkermowers.com.
   Walker Manufacturing Company 5925 E. Harmony Road
   Fort Collins, CO. 80528
2. Never allow children to operate or give rides on the machine. Do not allow adults to operate without proper instruction.
3. Do not allow anyone other than the operator on the machine.
4. Keep everyone, especially children and pets, a safe distance away from the area being cleaned. Do not operate with bystanders in the area.
5. Do not operate the machine wearing sneakers, tennis shoes, or similar lightweight footwear. Wear substantial protective footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
6. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could get caught in moving parts. Always wear adequate protective clothing including long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, and a helmet is advisable and required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.
7. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Operator hearing protection is recommended. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs.
8. Keep all protective shields and safety devices in place. If a protective shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, unusable, or missing, repair or replace it before operating the machine.
9. Be sure any interlock switches are functioning correctly so the engine cannot be started unless the Forward Speed Control (FSC) lever is in the NEUTRAL position and the PTO clutch is in the DISENGAGED position. Also, the engine should stop if the operator lifts off the seat with the PTO clutch in the ENGAGED position.
10. Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specifically instructed to do so.
11. Handle gasoline or diesel fuel with care. Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive:
    • Use an approved fuel container.
    • Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine (allow hot engine to cool several minutes).
    • Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, open flames, or sparks away from the fuel tank and fuel container.
    • Always fill the fuel tank outdoors using care. Fill to about one inch from the top of the tank. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling.
    • Replace the machine fuel cap and container cap securely and clean up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

OPERATING

NOTE: Refer to your model’s Operator’s Manual for safety instructions for operating the tractor.

1. Operate the machine only in daylight or in good artificial light with good visibility of areas being cleaned.
2. Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating the machine. Keep feet on footrests at all times when the tractor is moving and/or the implement is operating.
3. An inexperienced operator should learn to steer (maneuver) the tractor with a slow engine speed before attempting any operating. Be aware that, with the front mounted implement configuration, the back of the machine swings to the outside during turns.
4. Remember, for an emergency stop, the forward motion of the tractor can always be stopped by pulling the Forward Speed Control (FSC) into the NEUTRAL-PARK position.
5. Disengage the PTO clutch and put the FSC in the NEUTRAL-PARK position before starting the engine (an ignition interlock switch normally prevents starting of the tractor if these controls are in the OPERATING position).
6. Do not run the engine in a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and can be deadly.
7. Do not carry passengers – maximum seating capacity is one (1) person.
8. Watch out for hazards hidden under debris that could damage the machine while operating.
9. Avoid sudden starts or stops. Before backing the machine up, look to the rear to be sure no one is behind the machine. Watch carefully for traffic when crossing or working near roadways.
10. Disengage the PTO clutch when transporting the machine.
11. Do not operate across the face of slopes. Use extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear steep slopes.
12. Never adjust gauge wheels or skid shoes with the engine running. Before adjusting height or servicing, disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key. Wait for all movement to stop before getting off the seat.
    NOTE: The PTO brake should normally stop drive line rotation within 5 seconds of disengaging the PTO clutch.
13. If the implement strikes a solid object or the machine begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately disengage the PTO clutch, stop the machine, and remove the ignition key. Wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or the spark plug wire(s) [gasoline engines] to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the implement and repair any damage before restarting the engine and operating the machine. Make sure implement components are in good condition and all bolts are tight.
14. Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or immediately after stopping the engine. These areas may be hot enought to cause serious burns.
15. When leaving the machine unattended, disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Refer to your model’s Operator’s Manual for proper tractor maintenance procedures.

1. To prevent accidental starting of the engine when servicing or adjusting the machine, remove the key from the ignition switch and disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or the spark plug wire(s) [gasoline engines]
2. To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, excessive grease, and dirt.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to ensure the machine is in safe, working condition.
4. Perform only maintenance instructions described in this manual. Unauthorized maintenance operations or machine modifications may result in unsafe operating conditions.
5. If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
6. Always use proper engine service manuals when working on the engine. Unauthorized maintenance operations or modificaitons to the engine may result in unsafe operating conditions.
7. Altering the machine in any manner which adversely affects its operation, performance, durability or use will VOID the warranty and may cause hazardous conditions.

Attaching Debris Blower

The debris blower is shipped completely assembled except for the driveline, which must be connected to the input shaft.

1. Remove the belt guard from the debris blower housing by removing the four (4) carriage bolts securing it to the housing.
2. Thoroughly clean the debris blower input shaft and install a 1/4 x 1/4 x 1-1/4 in. key in the input shaft keyway.
3. Thoroughly clean the inside of the tractor PTO shaft and align the PTO shaft keyway with the key in the input shaft keyway.
4. Secure the PTO shaft to the input shaft with a 1/4 x 2-1/2 in. bolt and nylon locknut. Tighten the locknut and the set screw over the key.
5. Reinstall the belt guard by reversing the removal procedure in step 1.
6. Drive the tractor just in front of the debris blower, making sure the input shaft goes through the male quick hitch and under the PTO cover (figure 1.1). Connect the PTO shaft and input shaft. Insert the male quick hitch section of the implement hitch into the female hitch of the debris blower and lock in place by moving the hitch locking lever to the LOCKED position (figure 1.2). Refer to the Hitch Locking Lever instructions in the Operation section of this manual.
7. For GHS (Grass Handling System) equipped Walker tractors, install a blower intake cover in the blower intake tube. The cover “unloads” the blower and seals the intake to effectively eliminate power loss and noise when the blower is not being used. Refer to figure 1.3.
8. For stability of the tractor when transporting with the debris blower in raised position, approximately 80 lb (36 kg) of counterweight should be installed on the tail of the tractor. Optional tail weights for the various tractor models are available from your Walker dealer, or a sandbag or similar weight, may be used.

PREOPERATION CHECKLIST
Before operating any implement for the first time, and as a routine before daily operations, it is important to make sure the machine is properly prepared and ready for operation. The following is a list of items to be checked. For machines with frequent operation, some of these items will not need to be checked every day, but the operator should be aware of the condition of each.

Tractor
CHECK TRACTOR PREOPERATING CHECKLIST
Refer to the appropriate Tractor Operator’s Manual.

CHECK OPTIONAL TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains should always be used when operating the machine in icy conditions. If the tractor is equipped with the optional tire chains, make sure the chains are in good condition and are installed properly.

CHECK TRACTOR TAILWEIGHT
Make sure an 80 lb (36 kg) weight has been installed on rear of tractor.

Implement Hitch

CHECK LIFT SWITCH OPERATION
Raise and lower the implement hitch to make sure the lift switch and linear actuator operate properly.

CHECK HITCH LOCKING LEVER
Make sure the locking mechanism functions properly. Refer to Hitch Locking Lever instructions in the Operation section.

Debris Blower

CHECK DEFLECTORS
Make sure both deflectors are correctly positioned and that the position control knobs are tightened securely.

CHECK GAUGE WHEEL CONDITION
Make sure gauge wheel is in good condition and not damaged.

INSPECT DRIVE BELT
Refer to ADJUSTMENTS of Debris Blower Drive Belt Tension in Maintenance Instructions section.

CHECK BLOWER FAN

• Make sure the fan is clear of debris.
• Make sure the fan is free to rotate.
• Check that the fan blades are in good condition and not bent.

DEBRIS BLOWER CONTROLS
Deflector Position Control Knobs
Set the angle of the deflectors according to the desired distance the debris blower should throw. To adjust the deflector angle, loosen the knob, slide the deflector to the required angle, and securely retighten the knob.

Debris Blower Operation
Caution !
Before operating the debris blower, read and understand all Safety Instructions and Operating Instructions.
Implements are raised or lowered using the toggle switch located on the FSC lever as shown in figure 2.2.

• Move the switch forward to lower the implement.
• Move the switch backward to raise the implement.

Warning
If an implement is installed on the hitch, it must be locked in place before beginning any operation

H10: Locking/Removing Implements

• Locking: Rotate the hitch lock lever fully forward to the LOCKED position, and secure the hitch latch with the linch pin.
• Removing: Remove the linch pin from the latch and move the hitch lock lever backward to the UNLOCKED position.

Engaging the Debris Blower

1. Set the engine throttle at about 1/3 speed. DO NOT attempt to engage the PTO clutch at high engine speeds. This will drastically shorten drive belt life. Use only moderate engine speed when engaging the PTO clutch.
2. Pull the PTO clutch lever SLOWLY to engage the debris blower.

Warning
A safety interlock switch (seat switch) will cause the engine to stop if the PTO clutch is engaged and the operator is not in the seat. The function of this switch should be checked by the operator raising off the seat and engaging the PTO clutch; the engine should stop. If the switch is not working, it should be repaired or replaced before operating the machine. DO NOT disconnect the safety switches; they are for the operator’s protection.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT engage the PTO clutch with the PTO shaft disconnected (the debris blower removed from the tractor).

Recommendations for Operating the Debris Blower
IMPORTANT: Operate the engine at full speed when operating the debris blower, to allow the engine to produce full horsepower and to increase efficiency of the engine cooling system.

• When operating on a slope, reduce speed and use caution to start, stop and maneuver. Avoid sharp turns or sudden changes in direction.
• Use optional tire chains or all-terrain tires to improve traction.
• Disengage the PTO clutch to stop the debris blower when driving the machine but not operating the debris blower.
• Avoid damage to property and extra cleaning work by carefully choosing the direction to move the debris. Orient the blower away from people and property due to the possibility of thrown objects.
• To momentarily increase traction in case the drive wheels are slipping, use the lift switch to raise the debris blower slightly and transfer extra weight on the drive wheels.

Removing Debris Blower
H10 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Park the tractor on a level surface and lower the debris blower.Warning !
   DO NOT attempt to remove the debris blower with the tractor engine running. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key. Wait for all movement to stop before getting off the seat.
